On the second day of their visit to Tonga, on October 26, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the St George Building and met with the Prime Minister S. Akilisi Pohiva and members of the cabinet there. Afterwards, The Duke and Duchess attended an exhibition with The Princess Angelika at the Faonelua Centre, celebrating Tongan handicrafts and products, including traditional mats and 'tapa' cloth. The Duke and Duchess also met with local Tongan traders and craftsmen at the exhibition. (The Duchess wore a striped shirt-dress from Martin Grant Spring/Summer 2019 collection)

The Duke and Duchess then visited Tupou College, which is the oldest secondary school in the Pacific, founded by a British missionary in 1866. Duke and Duchess attended Unveiling of The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy at Tupou College in Nuku'alofa. (The Duchess wore a sky blue dress by Veronica Beard)

Meghan looks so polished. Both the Martin Grant striped and the Veronica Beard blue are perfect for the climate and occasions. I love the green stripes, paired with the green shoes. Very Meghan, very lovely.

I'm not so fond of the striped dress with a high neck, but the blue is amazing! Very flattering on the duchess who also has received the most beautiful skin color on this trip. The sun has made her shine!

I am not a big fan of this two dresses. All in all they suit her good, but I like her much more in an outfit, that is not so wide. But that is my own clothing taste. Ponytail?! Oh she looks so young and fresh with a ponytail. Totally simple but for her fine-cut face with this bright, natural and warm-hearted smile it is elegant and perfect.

I think people are being unfair when they say we keep picking on the fit of some of her dresses. This is a fashion blog, she’s wearing these lovely and expensive dresses but, she’s doing the designer and herself no favors wearing them incorrectly. Not everyone can wear clothes off the rack/mannequin, the stripped dress would’ve looked 100x better if a seamstress had been able to tighten up the loose fabric on the sides of her busy and under her arms. She’s due in spring, I’m also due in spring (April), so for those commenting on her “situation” she can and should still have her clothing trailored to her.

Can't go wrong with a shirtdress : )The black and white (or are those stripes olive? Look closely!)seems to have a bit too much material at the top. The blue one is better. Nice sleek ponytail. Yay for color : )

Totally agree, Jo. The blue dress is lovely and fits nicely. Not sure about the striped one, but it's better than last week's outfits so won't complain. Like the shoes in both outfits Her hair is lovely tied back without the straggly side bits--shows off her lovely complexion and beautiful smile.
